768981 2009-04-27 22:38:00 Hi Guys

I have recently built a new computer and the lcd screen has started to have a faint flicker that comes and goes, now if I change the refresh rate to 50hz it seems to disappear.
I am wondering if the monitor is defective or if it’s a graphics card or graphics card driver issue
Also what graphics drivers do I get from nvidia as there are different categories since I last had a nvidia card.
Here are my specs. Intel Duo core 2.66Ghz 4GB DDR2 Graphics MSI Geforce 9500 GT and the monitor is 22” View Sonic Resolution running at 1920x1080 running Windows 7 Beta
Noting is oveclocked. Any ideas?
Thanks guys

768982 2009-04-27 22:46:00 Probably the monitor, try the monitor on another PC and try another monitor on that PC. FInd out which component is at fault, get it replaced under warranty. wratterus (105)
768983 2009-04-27 23:25:00 I note you have 4 Gig of RAM. Are you running Win 7 Beta 64 bit or the 32 bit version? This so that we can point you to the correct drivers.
It may only be interference of some sort if the problem comes and goes

768984 2009-04-27 23:33:00 I am running 32bit

I just rang view sonic tech support he said try reinstalling the graphics card.

Just not sure which one to download. Cheers

768985 2009-04-27 23:38:00 these (www.nvidia.com) are the latest drivers for that gfx card under W7 GameJunkie (72)
768986 2009-04-28 00:06:00 Yes, try reinstalling the graphics drivers.

Create a system restore point first.

768988 2009-04-30 04:36:00 most LCD's use 60hz as the correct refresh rate I wouldn't recommend using 50hz at all. Do you use the screen under fluorescent lighting ? this can cause flicker in some cases. dugimodo (138)
768989 2009-04-30 09:17:00 Hi. If it's a ViewSonic VX2233WM, it should be set on 60Hz. Cheers A Team (13613)
